I think this link is worth checking out (sorry - copy and paste, I guess): http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2008/09/childhood_cancer_awareness_mon.html
It's a photo journal of some of the brave children fighting the fight against pediatric cancer. I completely missed the opportunity to share with you that September is Pediatric Cancer Awareness month. September '08 was not the best month on the books for us - we're glad to flip the calendar and hope for better.
In a couple of weeks, we'll send around an email and post about this year's Lunch for Life campaign. This will give everyone an opportunity to chip in a little bit to support research efforts. Your support of this cause is very important to us.
For now - it's just business as usual - preparing for a big week with the CHOP consult, and Kevin's surgery. We are grateful to be in your thoughts and prayers.
About Me
- Hans Weberling
- Bakersfield, CA, United States
- Hans was a busy, happy, sweet and fearless three year old when he was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma. He fought his disease like a "gladiator" for nearly 6 years. Hans was an animal lover to his core. He was 'guarded' at home by his three cats, Black, Orange and Cotton. He also had his Golden Retriever, Honey, to keep him company. Hans enjoyed swimming, biking, gardening, grilling (he had his very own grill!), horseback riding, playing video games, building Legos, and flipping between Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network and Animal Planet. Hans loved all members of his family and he was a loyal friend. He had to go through a lot of treatment in his life. But Hans powered through it. His attitude was let's get this done! His motivation was always to get back home, to his family, pets, favorite foods and pool.

Wow. You are an early bird today. Erin and Walter just left for clinic, and I'm about to go and walk the dogs. Good luck in Philly!

La - we are thinking about you. All our love and prayers. pl
Praying, praying, praying...Who knows why God wants Hans at CHOP but I am sure it is for something BIG! Let us know if we can do anything to help! We went bike riding through the woodlands. I have no idea where we were or where we went, but I looked for you guys while riding along. You are deep in our hearts and on our minds! Lvoe yoU!

Safe travels to and from Phila! Allow a little extra time for security at the airport when you leave Phil... for reasons not altogether clear to me often the security procedures at that airport result in ridiculously long lines.
